The 5 Best Men's Gifts to Buy at Sam's Club

If you're going to pick up a sweet deal from Sam's Club this holiday season, you're going to want to order it online, as many of the items featured in its catalog are not available in all stores. And if you're going to shop for, purchase, and wrap a gift, you want it to be "just right." Here are five gift ideas for the special men in your life that may fit the bill without totally draining your checking account. Prices are accurate at time of writing, but are subject to change.

1. The Ninja Woodfire™ Outdoor Grill & Smoker: $300

Why we like it: This grill and smoker may be small enough to sit on a picnic table, but it packs a powerful punch. You achieve all the performance of a full-size grill (including the char and searing) without the space-gobbling size of a large grill. If you know someone who's interested in smoking meats, all this foolproof system requires is 1/2 cup of wood pellets. Electronically powered with 120 Volts, it carries a 1-year limited warranty. Oh, and it's also priced $170 lower than the same model at Walmart. That's an extra $170 to put toward something less fun, like homeowners insurance.

2. Chef iQ Smart Thermometer 3 Probe + Hub: $150

Why we like it: This Smart Thermometer takes the guesswork out of grilling. If a man in your life considers himself quite the gourmet chef, he's going to love having such a sophisticated thermometer at his fingertips. Chef iQ uses an advanced algorithm to calculate the precise cooking time and temperatures, getting the meat just right every time. The fact that the probe is ultra-thin means meat is left intact and better able to hold in the juices. If you were to buy it on Amazon, you would pay $30 more.

3. ProForm 25 lbs. Select-a-Weight Dumbbell Set: $30

Why we like it: What's great about this dumbbell set is the revolutionary Easy-Adjust Weight Selection system. It takes just a moment for the user to modify the weight so their time can be better spent working out. The durable steel set stays secure in a storage tray that clearly shows the total weight of the dumbbell at each adjustment. A similar set goes for $100 on Amazon.

4. Lee Men's Workwear Vest: $20

Why we like it: If you haven't shopped for men's garments at Sam's Club lately, you might be surprised to learn how many brands the warehouse carries. This vest manages to look tough and stylish at the same time and comes in three colors: tobacco, black, and chocolate. If you're interested, you might want to pick one up while sizes small to xxx-large are still available.

5. MSI 31.5" FHD Curved 250 Hz 1ms FreeSync Gaming Monitor: $199

Why we like it: The FreeSync Gaming Monitor is built with a speedy 250 hz refresh rate + 1ms response time VA LED panel. It's great for fast-paced games like racing, sports, and fights. In short, if a game requires fast movements, this monitor can handle it. In addition to a multi-monitor 180-degree set-up, your gamer is sure to appreciate the way it syncs the refresh rate of the monitor with their GPU to eliminate the irritation of stuttering.

As we're all looking for ways to save money this holiday season, it's good to know that Sam's Club has a wide selection of gift ideas at a reasonable price.
